Q: Why are some reasons women seek abortion?
A: When a women is seeking abortion, it is normally because of multiple reasons. For instance, two-thirds of women seeking abortion say it’s because they can’t afford a baby. Three-fourths say that having a baby would interfere with other responsibilities. The reasons for abortions vary.
Q: Do women use abortion as birth control?
A: Unfortunately, some women do use abortion as birth control. However, 60% of women seeking abortion are already mothers.
Q: Are all abortions legal?
A: No. Late-Term abortions, 20-30 weeks through the pregnancy, are now illegal. President Bush banned late-term abortions in 2003.
Q: How safe is abortion?

A: An abortion is ten times safer than childbirth and almost twice as safe as a penicillin injection. So, pretty safe.
Q: How many women die from childbirth or pregnancy each year?

A: Around 500,000 women die each year.
Q: Is aborting a fetus really murder?
A: Pro-Life activists insist abortion is the deliberate taking of an unborn child’s life. In my opinion, if the unborn child would not be able to survive outside of the womb prior to 24 weeks, then abortion is not murder.
